The U.S. government is paying close to fifty grand per person to house illegal aliens detained by ICE. That cost is per adult, I might add, and does not figure out the cost of any children with them, or any other costs involved in the matter.

Strange; many Americans live on less - sometimes far less - and the aliens in question come from places where they live on far, far less.

This tells us that we are treating these people not just with kid gloves but with diamond encrusted ones. They are living far better in custody than most of their childhood chums are living in extavagant wealth in their home country. Is it any wonder they are all coming here?

According to CNS News:

(CNSNews.com) – The federal government paid a "bed rate” of $127.82 per day to house each illegal alien detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in fiscal 2016,according to ICE data published in a new report by the Government Accountability Office.

Even if you do not count the extra day in that leap year, that works out to $46,654.30 for each detention bed occupied by an illegal alien for 365 days.

The approximately $46,654 it cost to house a detained illegal alien for 365 days in fiscal 2016 was approximately $104 more than the average income for Americans 15 and older that year—which,according to Census Bureau Table PINC-01, was $46,550.
